A short story follows the journey of Kofi, a young farmer who discovers a hidden well that promises abundant water. He must decide whether to keep the well a secret for his family's benefit or share it with the drought‑stricken village. Two pivotal events occur: (i) Kofi secretly draws water at night, and (ii) he publicly announces the well's location, leading to a communal celebration. Which of these events serves as the climax of the story, and why does it fulfil the criteria of a climax in plot structure?
